ChromLokTM Oxide Overlay Coatings for
the High Temperature Protection Of Metallic Components

Nexceris’s ChromLokTM system provides metallic components used in solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) systems with the high temperature protection they require. The ChromLokTM system includes a range of complementary oxide coatings that prevent the release of detrimental chromium species from stainless steels during high temperature operation. Coatings include a manganese cobaltite (MCO) coating, which combines excellent protection with low resistance and is ideal for the cathode active area where electrical conductivity is critical. An additional coating for the non-active area of the interconnect is also available.

AlumiLokTM

Nexceris’ AlumiLokTM coating process is a scalable, cost-effective approach to protect metal components from corrosion in high-temperature applications. Coated stainless steel components exhibit eight to ten times less oxidation, greatly exceeding the performance of other high temperature alloys. AlumiLokTM has been shown to work with a wide range of materials, including ferritic & austenitic stainless steels, Inconel, nickel alloys & copper alloys. AlumiLokTM replicates the traditional aluminization surface microstructure, proving just as effective as the expensive vapor phase aluminization process.
